Risks after abortion: depression +37%, alcohol use/abuse +110%,

A pro-life doctor writes about psychological health risks of abortion:

“In an article written by Dr. Priscilla Coleman, a professor of Human Development and Family Studies at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, she offers the most comprehensive assessment of mental health risks associated with an abortion that can be found anywhere in published medical literature. In brief summary, the increase in risk for anxiety disorders was 34%, depression 37%, alcohol use/abuse 110%, marijuana use/abuse 220% and suicide 155%.”
